Dot FR Domains

The .FR country-specific top-level domain name extension is the most widely used one among French speakers and if you possess a website in French, such a domain will be an ideal choice to reach tens of millions of web users, having in mind that a .FR domain is more probable to have higher French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with considerable French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and a number of countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries regularly use French email providers and search online for French websites, so this is an excellent way for you to contact them them.

The domain name extension was started in 1986, but registrations were restricted to individuals and companies situated in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. At present, a .FR domain can be registered by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than 2.5 million active registrations, the dot FR top-level domain name extension is one of the most widely used country-code extensions. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past several years.

If you wish to secure a .FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will be operational more or less immediately. AFNIC, the Registry organization that controls this TLD, has special restrictions about certain records that the name servers of a dot FR domain must have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not come across any problems to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many hosting providers, in particular resellers, don’t offer the full set of records, so you can’t really host a dot FR domain with them. You will have full control over your domain through our Hepsia Control Panel – you’ll be able to alter the WHOIS contact info at any time, to create and to update Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
